Fujitsu (TSE:6702) Raised Its Interim Dividend, Is The Stock Now Cheap?

Fujitsu (TSE:6702) has put income and earnings in sharp focus after announcing a higher interim dividend of ¥25 per share, alongside half-year results showing increased sales but sharply lower net income and earnings per share.

Recent trading tells a mixed story. The share price is around ¥3,430, with a 7 day share price return down 20.64% and a 30 day share price return down 15.37%. However, the 3 year total shareholder return of 81.02% still points to a solid longer term outcome despite fading momentum in recent months.

Most Popular Narrative: 29% Undervalued
